INTRODUCTION Parvoviruses are smallest viruses of 23-28nm in diameter having non-segmented, single stranded DNA genome of 5200bp [1]. Genome codes for the structural and non-structural proteins namely VP1, VP2, VP3 and NS1 and NS2 respectively. The most part of the capsid is formed by VP2 and is the most important protein antigenically and immunogenically. …
Introduction The transcription factor of group AbZIP plays an important role in the ABA signaling pathway. The bZIP transcription factor of OsABF2 was expressed in various tissue in rice under abiotic stress treatment. Compare to the wild type the T-DNA insertional mutant of OsABF2 shows more sensitivity to drought stress these results conclude OsABF2 function …
